Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato, butternut squash, and carrot slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20 minutes until tender.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of roasted vegetables over the sauce.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the vegetables, then sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers: sauce, vegetables, ricotta, mozzarella.
- Finish with a final layer of vegetables, remaining marinara sauce, and remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh basil.
